So my 4 week old BOs and EE are just learning to be outside in an enclosed, secure, supervised setting. They are in my fenced garden where i can see them and so can my free rangers who are about 2 1/2 years old. The adults approach the chicks with curiosity but Vivian was doing this "stare down" with one of the BOs. They locked eyes and it was like "who will look away first!!". Is this a posturing by my adult to let the newbies who's boss??? No harm done. No pecking or attacking, just staring! Thanks.
